Defeating enemies

When a Boss or other strong enemy grabs you, keep pressing L1 (Shoot) to take away great amounts of life away from them.

Defeating Dracula

When fighting Dracula at the end of the game, wait to attack him until you turn into a werewolf. Otherwise, he will be invincible. After awhile of using Tojo Blades, you will hear a scream and you will become a werewolf. Later, you will temporarily be Van Helsing. Also, your background will be bluish when you are a werewolf and normal when you are not. Note: Dracula remains normal until attacked -- you will be okay until you turn werewolf.

Defeating Vampires

When you get to the part where you have to fight the three Vampires, take out the one on the left first. When the center Vampire is going to attack, she will make a screeching type of sound. When she does that, get ready to dodge her attack. When she uses her lightning attack, hide behind the pillar. When you take out the Vampire on the left, the center Vampire will transform. The transformed Vampire will land on the ground and remains still. Back away and do not get hit when she dives after you. If you follow this and attack at the correct times, you should be able to defeat them.
